Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book is a unique and well-written ethnographic addition to the dialogue on globalisation and modern Morocco.
* The Journal of North African Studies *
By placing personal experiences within the larger national and global context, the author provides a sympathetic view into the dislocation and upheaval experienced today by a large sector of Moroccan society, resulting from sweeping global forces.
* Choice *
A highly readable, insightful, and truly informative work, Everyday Life in Global Morocco is a significant addition to a long line of anthropological scholarship on Morocco intensely concerned with understanding and pluralizing modernity's potentialities and discontents. It will be valuable to students and scholars interested in globalization's material and symbolic terrains.
